Czars and empresses ruled this giant country for almost 400 years, until the Communists came to power. Today Russia is building a modern and free economy. This primary-source tour for kids includes an example of Cyrillic writing from the eleventh century and the proclamation stating that the Soviets had taken over the government in 1917.
